What is Micromobility?

What is Micromobility?

Micromobility can be electric and human-powered. Micromobility includes walking and cycling (human-powered), as well as electric bicycles, cargo bikes, wheelchairs, kick scooters and more. Such small vehicles are considered micromobility when they have operating speeds below 25 km/h. For passenger and goods transport Micromobility can be for passenger and goods transport. While we generally think of micromobility as transport for a single passenger, it also includes cargo bikes and other (electric) cargo solutions, to transport goods for deliveries, or to be used by families to carry their children. Privately owned or shared publicly  Micromobility can be private or public/rented vehicles. Certain micromobility modes are well established, such as walking and cycling, but the micromobility concept really picked up with the spread of public bicycle sharing systems in the 2010s and more recently with the emergence of shared electric kick scooters in cities around the world, which enabled short-term, one-way, shared use of these transport modes Connecting with public transport Micromobility is suitable for short urban trips and provides connections with (public) transport. Micromobility is key to providing intermodality (using multiple modes to complete a trip): to connect from home to the nearest bus or train station, ferry landing site or...

Mikromobilità tista’ tkun bl-elettriku jew imħaddma mill-bniedem. Mikromobilità tinkludi mixi, ċikliżmu (imħaddem mill-bniedem), roti tal-elettriku, roti tal-merkanzija, siġġu tar-roti, kick scooters u iktar. Vetturi żgħar bħal dawn huma kkunsidrati bħala Mikromobilità meta joperaw taħt veloċità ta’ 25 km/ h.

For passenger and goods transport

Mikromobilità tista’ tkun għal passiġġier u għat-trasport tal-merkanzija. Filwaqt li ġeneralment naħsbu fil-Mikromobilità bħala trasport għal passiġġier wieħed, tista’ wkoll tinkludi roti tal-merkanzija u soluzzjonjijet oħra (elettriċi) tal-merkanzija, biex titrasporta merkanzija, jew biex tintuża mill-familja biex iġorru t-tfal tagħhom.

Jistgħu jkunu propjetà privata jew kondiviża bejn il-pubbliku. 

Mikromobilità tista’ tkun privata jew tal-pubbliku/ vetturi tal-kiri. Ċertu modi ta’ Mikromobilità huma pjuttost stabbiliti, bħal mixi jew ċikliżmu, iżda l-kunċett tal-Mikromobilità qabad sew meta bdiet is-sistema pubblika tar-bike sharing fl-2010 u riċentament bil-ħolqien tal-kick scooters elettriċi fi bliet madwar id-dinja, li ppermettew l-użu għal terminu qasir, vjaġġ wieħed, użu maqsum ta’ modi differenti ta’ trasport.

Konnessjoni mat-trasport pubbliku.

Mikromobilità hija adattata għal vjaġġi urbani u qosra li tipprovdi konnessjonijiet mat-trasport (pubbliku). Mikromobilità hija ċ-ċavetta sabiex tipprovdi intermodalità ( li jintużaw modi differenti sabiex twettaq vjaġġ): sabiex jgħaqqad id-dar għall-eqreb karozza tal-linja jew stazzjon tal-ferrovija, moll tal-laneċ jew Park & Ride, jew kif tlesti vjaġġ għad-destinazzjoni finali: skola, xogħol, ħanut, etċ.
